About

There is a strong correlation between sleep disturbance and indications of stress, anxiety, and depression. However, in Egypt no research has looked into how better sleep for expectant mothers might be achieved by inexpensive, pleasurable, non-invasive music listening. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate how music listening affects pregnant women's psychological status, and sleep quality.
